Summary
Emile Hirsch's role in Inside Man continues his trend of starring in fact-based projects, such as Lords of Dogtown and Alpha Dog.
Hirsch received significant praise for his performance in Into the Wild; however, major award nominations failed to recognize his talent.
In his future endeavors, Hirsch will further delve into fact-based roles, such as portraying Pretty Boy Floyd in a biographical film and starring in a drama centered around the Holocaust.
Emile Hirsch is set to have his own unforgettable moment reminiscent of "Goodfellas" with an exclusive Inside Man clip. In this movie, Hirsch portrays Bobby Belucci, a disgraced New York Police Detective who embarks on a mission to salvage his crumbling life. His plan involves taking down a notorious crime family and exposing the murder and corruption within their ranks. However, as the stakes intensify, Belucci finds himself in over his head. Joining Hirsch in the cast of Inside Man are director Danny Abeckaser, Ashley Greene, Lucy Hale, and Jake Cannavale. Screen Rant is privileged to present this exclusive clip ahead of the film's release in theaters.
In the video above, Hirsch's character Bobby is seen meeting with Abeckaser's character Roy DeMeo, who is the leader of the DeMeo crew. During their meeting, Bobby is questioned about his past involvement in violence and his value to the crew. Bobby shares a deeply unsettling secret from his past - he confesses to killing a classmate when he was a child. He reveals that he committed this act because the classmate had spoken poorly about his sister, who had tragically taken her own life. However, Bobby managed to escape any consequences for the murder by making it appear as though the classmate's death was a suicide.
Please note that this piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and it is important to acknowledge the contribution of the writers and actors from both unions without whom this movie would not have been possible.
Inside Man Continues One Of Hirsch's Best Career Trends
Hirsch's portrayal in Inside Man demonstrates his consistent trend of being cast in projects based on real individuals and events, surpassing his memorable role in the cult favorite Speed Racer movie. One of Hirsch's early career highlights was his performance as the legendary Southern Californian skateboarder Jay Adams in the sports biopic Lords of Dogtown, which showcased the iconic Z-Boys surf and skate team. He continued this pattern by delving into another true story with the crime thriller Alpha Dog, where he portrayed a character inspired by drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood.
However, Hirsch's most remarkable fact-based project to date is the 2008 film Into the Wild, where he took on the role of the renowned nomadic adventurer Christopher McCandless, also known as Alexander Supertramp. The movie chronicles McCandless' extraordinary journey from North America to the Alaskan wilderness during the 1990s. Despite receiving widespread acclaim, including consideration for prestigious awards like the Oscars and Golden Globes, Hirsch unexpectedly did not receive any nominations for these accolades. Instead, he received recognition from less-publicized award ceremonies such as the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Hirsch has consistently returned to the fact-based genre in his career, taking on a range of projects since his role in Into the Wild. His latest endeavor in this genre is Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where he portrays the late celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring. Continuing this pattern, Hirsch is set to star in a biopic about the notorious bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd, as well as in the Holocaust-themed drama Bau, Artist At War, where he will portray the character Joseph Bau, a survivor of concentration camps. Inside Man, which features Hirsch, is scheduled for release in theaters and on VOD on August 11.
